Training & Development(WM): Embedded Videos and Images in Content Slide Questionnaires

Training teams can now create richer, more engaging learning experiences with support for embedding videos and images directly inside Content Slides in the E-Learning module. This enhancement gives brands more flexibility and creativity in how they communicate information, explain processes, and deliver engaging training.

This improvement is available to all customers using E-Learning and will be part of the December 2025 release.

 

Until now, Content Slides supported standard text formatting and basic image uploads, but didn’t allow multimedia elements such as embedded videos or externally hosted images. Training teams often rely on visual demonstrations, walkthroughs, scenario-based content, and adding multimedia is one of the most effective ways to improve comprehension and retention.

With the upgraded editor (TinyMCE), you can now embed:

  • Videos from external platforms (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) using <iframe>

  • Images hosted externally using <img>

This gives you more control over how your content looks, feels, and performs, without changing any reporting or compliance logic.


Where This Update Applies

You can use the new embed capability inside:

E-Learning > Content Slide > Content Editor

The feature is available to anyone with permission to manage E-Learning content.


How to Use Video & Image Embeds

To help you try the new functionality immediately, here are step-by-step instructions with ready-to-use examples.

Embedding a Video (Example Included)

Steps

  • Go to E-Learning and open an existing module or create a new one.

  • Add or edit a Content Slide.

  • Enter a title and in the content editor, click Source Code.

  • Paste the following sample video embed code:

<p style="background: #002f6c; 
padding: 15px; 
text-align: center;">
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4d45L3W-h0w" 
width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" title="How to Guide">
</iframe>
</p>
  1. Click Save.

You will immediately see the video preview inside the Content Slide.


 

This way you'll be able to embed a video in the content slide. 

 

Embedding an Image (Example Included)

Steps

  1. Inside the same Content Slide, click Source Code.

  2. Paste the following sample image embed code:

<div style="margin-bottom: 8px; 
font-size: 18px; 
font-family: Arial, sans-serif; 
font-weight: bold;">
Employee Training &amp; Development</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; 
text-align: center;">
<img src="https://www.franconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Employee-Training-and-Development-Best-Practices.jpg"
alt="Employee Training and Development Best Practices" 
style="border: 0;
width: 100%; 
height: auto;" />
</div>
  1. Click Save.

Your embedded image will appear in the content preview and can be visually styled as needed.

Note: This is separate from the existing “Image Upload” option, this enhancement specifically supports embedding externally hosted images via the <img> tag.


What This Means for Training Teams

This upgrade gives content creators more freedom and capability:

  • More visual storytelling: Show demonstrations, scenarios, or walkthroughs without relying on attachments.

  • Higher learner engagement: Multimedia breaks up long text and supports different learning styles.

  • Cleaner content structure: Everything stays inside the content slide, reducing clutter across modules.

  • No workflow changes: All existing features — including reporting, tracking, and compliance — work exactly the same.
